Acalabrutinib in patients with mantle cell lymphoma subjected to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. a phase 2 study by the Polish Lymphoma Research Group

Cancer research · Mantle cell lymphoma

This phase 2 trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib used to reduce tumor burden before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo‑HCT) and as a maintenance therapy after transplantation in patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (R/R MCL).

This phase 2 trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib used to reduce tumor burden before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo‑HCT) and as a maintenance therapy after transplantation in patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (R/R MCL).

The study demonstrates that a second‑generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor can serve as an effective bridge to allo‑HCT and as a post‑transplant maintenance agent, potentially improving response rates and long‑term outcomes in relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.
